What Movie Is Your Game?

A recent discussion came up that prompts us to ask you, what movie is your game like? We don’t necessarily mean plot as much as we mean the overall ethos of the game itself. Micah and I give some examples and want to know what movie/show your game is.

Pay What You Want…Forever?

Recently Troll In the Corner tried going “pay what you want” for all of its materials and has decided to keep it that way. Micah and I discuss the premise a bit and wonder if it will work in the long run? Gives us your two cents!

Thanks again for the Haste Podcast. I love it. With regard to a movie analogy for my campaign, I have to say for me it is important that there are political machinations, strong historical backgrounds and that the whole campaign has an epic feel that touches on characters’ belief systems, their quest for knowledge and their attempt to understand both magic and divine elements in their lives.

As such, a few films popped into my mind: Lord of the Rings, Dune, The Riddick Chronicles, Chinatown, The Layer Cake, The Matrix, Conan the Barbarian (First One), Clash of the Titans, Game of Thrones, Prometheus, Polanski’s Macbeth and 2001: A Space Odyssey.

I enjoyed the “Gnome Stew” article on prepping games and agree that the best thing is to spend more time detailing possible encounters and less time postulating possible solutions.

You guys are way off on knocking the $5comedy download thing. Many comedians have adopted this for of marketing their material and are doing very well. You said people would get tired of paying $5 to download a standup special but you fail to mention the alternative is to pay $20 for a DVD/CD. Your statements pretty much paint a negative image on the audience you are addressing.
